Butterfinger Balls recipe Easy no bake dessert candy Learn this tech for irresistible homemade peanut butter treats in just a few steps
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) jar creamy peanut butter
- 1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) bag milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 1 (12 ounce) bag Butterfinger baking bits
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the entire jar of creamy peanut butter and the box of powdered sugar. Mix until fully combined. It will be thick and crumbly but should hold together when squeezed.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, one-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If sticky, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill the balls, making them easier to dip.
- While chilling, melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate using a toothpick or fork, ensuring full coverage. Let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the dipped ball back on the parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with Butterfinger baking bits before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely. This can be sped up by refrigerating the tray for 15 minutes.
